Fall 2014 collection presentations tend to coincide with Valentine’s Day, and Tadashi Shoji’s new collection is geared toward a woman seeking the intense romance of yesteryear. Designed for an au courant woman, Tadashi Shoji is filled with luxuriant textiles, ornate architectural details, and palatial soundscapes.

Elegant and sophisticated, all standout pieces are worthy of upcoming black-tie galas. Women can look forward to a flame and nude corded embroidery on tulle long sleeve gown, an ivory and nude wooly lace sleeveless column gown, mystique blue silk chiffon and corded embroidery on tulle applique gown with tulle insets, a navy and black Rachel lace banded sweetheart neck strapless gown, and black velvet strapless gown with velvet palette insets and frayed-edge silk chiffon detail.

Cushnie et Ochs Fall/Winter 2014 Collection

by Alissa Wilson February 12, 2014

written by Alissa Wilson 1 minutes read

Designers Michelle Ochs and Carly Cushnie definitely know how to bring sexy back. From looking at my curves body con dresses to sleek and sophisticated looks, Cushnie’s fall collection was excellent. The designs were modern but had a 90’s vibe. Slightly reminiscent of when Tom Ford was at Gucci. I loved the draped off-the-shoulder dresses, fitted knits, and structured leather jackets, as well as the patent leather skater skirts. The harness necklines on dresses and tops were very bad-girl-esque. Texture played a significant role in the collection with richly teal-colored velvet dresses accented with high splits and super deep v’s. There was a lot of exposed skin with their very low-cut dresses. Even model Karolina Kurkova rocked a strapless lace cutout top and matching skirt.

by Alyson S. Campbell February 12, 2014

written by Alyson S. Campbell 1 minutes read

Mongolian designer Katya Zol presented a stunning runway collection part of the Fall/Winter 2014 Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on Sunday, February 9. The show opened with a performance Cirque du Soleil style with a singer in a native head dress, vocalizing to the sounds of the Mongolian region, followed by an acrobatic gentleman who held various poses upside down, sideways and otherwise using a small chair on the runway. Zol certainly set the stage for her collection that followed – a glorious array of colors, fabrics and styling, evoking the Mongolian spirit throughout.

Katya Leonovich Fall/Winter 2014

by John Stolen February 12, 2014

written by John Stolen 1 minutes read

From her very first runway show in 2001, Katya Leonovich has implemented a signature “beautiful garbage” and this year’s show has been no exception. Her staple garment patterns – a chic criss-cross in effect, bubble dresses, and unique incorporation of prints – all made a welcome appearance in her F/W collection. In a largely gray color palette, the show had an air of rock glam – shimmering garments with metal details, paired with perfectly coiffed faux-hawks and killer thigh-high boots, the line embodies an aesthetic fit for a modern-day, imperial Russian Princess.

Ruffian Fall/Winter 2014: Bold Moves Down the Runway

by Shawn Frego February 12, 2014

written by Shawn Frego 1 minutes read

Volume was the star this fashion week. It walked pretty much all the runways.
Ruffian was no anomaly. Designers Brian Wolk and Claude Morais provided fashion week with arguably one of its most voluminous and bold runways. Playing with shape and tackling wearability and femininity in the same breath, Ruffian was for the most part successful.

Bosideng Fall 2014 Collection

by John Stolen February 6, 2014

written by John Stolen 0 minutes read

The Bosideng F/W presentation, though only displaying 12 looks, was as solid as one might expect from the label that got its start primarily as a coat-maker. High-quality fabrics, pieced together in a smooth, almost seamless line. A mix of gray solid 2-button and plaid double-breasted (is there any other kind?) suits balanced the puffy down outerwear pieces.

David Hart Fall 2014 Collection

by John Stolen February 6, 2014

written by John Stolen 1 minutes read

Not entirely certain where New York City based David Hart was coming from or going with this collection. The craftsmanship is solid, to be sure. His signature bowling shirt print was included, lest any forget whose line this is. As a collection, there is little continuity, aside from the patent leather brogues, displayed in a variety of muted hues. Each piece stands alone, tells its own wayfaring story.
